Last week was a mixed one for precious metals, with gold and silver down significantly but generally lower drops across the platinum group. In the background to these movements was the most disruptive week on the equities markets since the 2008 crash, with China’s economic troubles sending waves of chaos through the exchanges through at […]

Last week was a mixed one for precious metals with three of the key commodities – including gold and silver – seeing respectable price rises, while some losses hit the platinum group.

The United States Mint has released a new coin for 2015 which harkens back to the Golden Age of coin minting – The 2015 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin. Arguably America’s most famous coin engraver/sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gauden was the designer of the ever-popular gold $20 Double Eagle. In 1907, only about 20 of these […]
After an unimpressive few weeks in the precious metal market it was good to see a much healthier performance last week.

Last week was no better for precious metals than the one before; although there wasn’t much movement Friday to Friday in the key gold and silver markets we did see some losses across the platinum group.

Gold & Silver Market 11-23-2015
The precious metals sector was confusing last week, with a mixed bag of performances and no clear pattern visible. The two big investment items, gold and silver, didn’t show a lot of movement.
